Nuff said. It was great to see all the orange in the stadium. Kudos to all those that attended.

I am glad I made the trip and with the exception of the team's performance, had a good time.  I didn't encounter any disrespectful OSU fans and wasn't trying to provoke any either.  Our pregame spots were the Varsity Club  and the O on Lane.  The O felt like the old O'Charley's back in the day. The Shoe was a HUGE disappointment.  Not talking about the bathroom or steps up to the C level seats or concessions.  I am talking the pregame, and the crowd was not lout at all. I thought the dotting of the I would be more attention grabbing with lights and a callout like our Power T or Running Through The T.  I missed it and was watching the field.  An SEC team at night, I was expecting Florida, Georgia, or Bama energy/noise as a visiting fan and got maybe Miss State.  I was shocked I could talk to my friends as if we were sitting at home watching on TV. If that's an example of a Big 10 game atmosphere, it is clearly JV level.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Almost worse than the game was the next day, I have OSU fans that are customer's of mine and we talked prior to the game about the stadium and places to go when I was there.  Nether of them went to the game.  They both texted me wanting to know what I thought of the Horseshoe and how it was a great place.  I had to choose my words carefully.  It's like telling someone that believes they know how to sing or cook . . . that they can't.
